EVE General Discussion

You're basing your statement that all null sec pvpers belong to sov holding alliances and are F1 monkeys. I think you need to experience this game more.

It would be, if Sabres weren't substantially cheaper than what is required to smartbomb a pod and tank the gate guns.

So, should Eve only have one type of Pvp? Hi Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec, or WH only?

Or should Eve have multiple types where the rules are different and players with different RL situations can find a place to play the way they want that doesn't interfere to much with their RL obligations?

I say we have multiple ways, since there are many different RL situations you can find yourself in that are not conducive to some of the more demanding Pvp types.

PS: Btw, we all know the only people that can truly support Null Sec game play are of the Neck-Beard variety of the parental Hobit-Hole basement dwellers with a dash of Vampirism.

lawl OP thinks pods are only killed by smart bombs in low. Trust me you get pods all the time down here people have always been ******** at bailing.
-10 life is Eve on hard mode. Low > null by far.

Is putting a bubble on a gate and blapping whatever comes through considered hardmode? The mechanics are different but I wouldn't say one was any easier or harder than the other.

What about those gate and station guns! oh no!

The thing about lowsec is the Sec Loss. The reason your pod is safer is because of the severe Security Status hit if you blow one up. Unless you are fine being permanently red in highsec you have to grind it back up and pick your targets. Gate and station guns are not much of a problem anymore since if you warp away and come back they stop shooting, but it means that you cant PVP anywhere near them in anything smaller then a cruiser. If in something that can laugh at there DPS, its really hard to engage in a "fair" or "good" fight because the person that shoots first is taking extra damage. Hence fighting on stations or gates mainly being piracy or tricking someone else to shoot first.

Lowsec is good for casual pirating or practicing gate camps on noobs in haulers dumb enough to ignore the warning message, Ive done a lot of that. The problem is that if other people show up it turns into a numbers game, almost like a tiny version of a blob. You and your friends (if any) are only top dog until someone else shows up, but thats common anywhere. Sometimes people will show up in a frig or something and ask if you want to 1V1 at the sun but its rare. Its even more rare that they hold to it and there friend thats been cloaked or docked in a Force recon all day (looking AFK) doesnt show up and help.

I wont claim to be an awesome PVP'er, I am good at flying my ships and understand things pretty damn well for someone with my experience (sparing with people from 2003), but the only reason my KDR is so stupid high is because I mainly hunt for sport and pirate things that I know I have a good chance of not dying against. Lowsec can be really fun because of the numbers game or just messing with people fir giggles that think they are "going to take over the system" (I love those people lol). You can do really well if you play smart, and lowsec is one of those places that favor the sly pilot that knows the area, but it is not easy mode. Its much harder in a lot of ways.

I actually miss WH PVP, and want to try some NPC Null. Find a spot that not too deep and recon the locals and have some fun. Somewhere I dont have to worry about sec status or safeties. But if you want "real" PVP in lowsec.. its way to random to be "easy" and if you base out of highsec, it can have it consequences.
